Abstract: |
Between the 16th April and the 4th May 2018 YAT conducted archaeological monitoring of window sample boreholes for the FMP at Flood Cell B8, Clementhorpe, York. The work was undertaken for CH2M on behalf of the Environment Agency to produce information on the deposit sequence revealed by the window samples. Natural deposits were encountered at depths between 1.55m and 3.58m BGL and comprised of clay, silty clay and clay sand deposits. The only evidence of human activity recorded comprised deposits of late post-medieval industrial waste and made ground, the top of which were encountered between 0.17m and 0.50m BGL and measured between 0.7m and 3.32m thick. The result of the boreholes confirms the known archaeology of the area; this part of Clementhorpe comprised largely of agricultural fields from the Roman period through to the late post-medieval period and the spread of settlement and occupation from York only began during the post-medieval period in the form of terraced residential housing and industrial works. |
